I love the forum and find so many of the stories both very inspirational and educational. Thank you all!
I'm 45, no kids, no debt, inexpensive house with mortgage paid off.
Due to this nice market run we have been having, I'm within 40k of my magic number of 1M for FIRE. The problem is I'm miserable (with a capital M) at w*rk and don't think I can hang on much longer. The hours are awful, high stress and my favorite coworkers are leaving. I will be getting no pension but will eventually get social security (if it is around). I will need to provide my for own health insurance.
I don't have the energy, at least without a long break, to look for another job. It will proabably take me 1 year to save the additional 40k. I can live with with the reduced principle but it leaves less for extras like travel etc.
Has anyone faces a similar situation where they just had to get out of a w*rk quigmire and go with a reduced nest egg? Or did you stick it out and keep to your nest egg goal?
